What Did We Learn This Month?
Health magazine: July/August 2011
What’s happening in the July/August issue of Health?
Health Cover Star for July/August:
The lovely, talented, intelligent and thoroughly amazing Julianne Moore—huzzah! She is photographed on the cover by Brian Bowen Smith in a Lanvin dress.
Julianne will soon be seen in the comedy Crazy, Stupid Love opposite Steve Carell and keeps her sanity with Asthanga yoga three times per week. No spinning classes for this gal—too loud and raucous.
Here is another photo of Julianne in a divine Diane von Furstenberg dress.
So what else is inside the July/August Health?
"Pilates With a Twist”
Health asked expert instructor Molly Sigman from The Sports Club/LA-San Francisco to show off some of her favorite moves form her “Pilates with Weights” class. Good stuff here!
“Stop That Itch!”
How to take care of all kinds of unpleasant skin things from rashes to bug bites and more,
“Could Radiation Harm Your Health?”
The nuclear disaster in Japan has been giving lots of folks second thoughts about X-rays and how safe they really are. Rest easy—the news is better than you think.
"Melt 1200 Calories Today”
Basically a plan to swap out foods and add highly “torched” exercises so you can eat healthy and heartily and still keep in shape. Includes 500-calories food “swaps” you can make at the summer BBQ’s and buffets this year.
“What I Love About Shopping: Cat Deeley”
I am a little late to the game here but I am really loving the Fox-TV program So You Think You Can Dance with nice contestants and judges who really love the art of dancing. Anyhoo--here we get host Cat’s favorite things for summer.
And now the rest of the best of this issue of Health:
- "The Burning Question: Can You Be Fit & Fat?" Two experts square off on this topic.
- "How To Glow From Head to Toe" Summer beauty to get you all shiny and purty.
- "Little Ways to Lose Big" Easy, peasy lifestyle “tweaks” to lose pounds without sacrificing taste.
- "Amazing Salads” I am hungry as I am typing this post this particular page is making me drool. (Must get salad now…)
- “Are You More Buzzed Than You Think?” For no big reason at all I decided to take the month off from all booze this month. I have since noticed that I have the ability to chill out and relax on my own and do not need to depend on wine or cosmos to help me unwind. This article reminds me that any amount of alcohol can make big changes in your body. Read this!
